Glacier wasteland, ruins of Dragon King City.
In the roaring snowstorm, the once towering walls, towers, bridges and palaces... Are all left with ruins covered and buried by ice and snow; A quarter turned white and three quarters fell into the abyss of the ice cave.
This is what the hard-working eagle king saw when he arrived here.
"I saw lymantus coming, and people called him ''the dead'' -- death is the end of life, a saint who does not mix any emotion to save the world, and should be crowned with such a title."
The smiling eagle king is like wandering in the roaring wind and snow among the ruins. His exquisite long hair floats in the wind and snow with his clothes. His white cheeks and hands are red and swollen with cold.
Even so, he could not be interrupted. He looked down at the sheepskin book in his hand and murmured like a devout believer.
"I saw a knight named gowait; the high dovetail flag praises the name of the ''tyrant'' - because the saints who save others must kill; how many people are saved, how many people are killed;"
Along the edge of the abyss, the eagle king walked forward step by step - the long bridge that once led to the Dragon King tower has now become the only "land" above the huge pit of the ice and snow abyss.
The long and narrow bridge extends to the center of the "giant pit".
"I saw that Luton was poor and destitute. He was reviled by thousands of people in his life and his bad reputation persisted after his death. Because the facts are the most painful and the truth is the most terrible, the person who tells the facts and truth must be full of lies and be completely denied. He must be an" unbeliever "
The eagle king gave a slight meal and smiled at the corners of his mouth.
At the foot of the long bridge came the trembling of unbearable load, and in the increasingly fierce snowstorm came bursts of wailing. The corridor columns on both sides collapsed one after another with the passing figure of the eagle king; The broken stones fell into the abyss with ice and snow.
"I see that Diabo is so disgusting, does not believe in God and people, and expounds all actions, motives and results with sin and desire - only he is complacent because of the title of ''the last shadow''; when he is in the abyss and looks up to the sky, he can see a ray of light above his head;"
The eagle king''s voice gradually changed its tone and spoke faster and faster, as if reciting the sheepskin book in his hand.
"I see that power is given to them, hymns praise them, sins are given to them, and curses profane them."
"I saw them give the old life with a fight, and the death of the sick baby;"
"I saw them stop killing with killing, save the slain with killing, and put their lives on the scale to weigh which is lighter or heavier;"
"I saw them tell the truth and make all living beings blame themselves, suffer and angry; I saw them tell the truth and make mortals pessimistic, sink and despair;"
"I saw them talk about all the ugliness, destroy all the good, beautiful and kind decorations, reveal their ugly, shameful and ugly true colors, and force people to look at all this directly;"
"I see that they do their best to bring chaos, waves and shocks to the earth again and again. No matter how they do it, they will kill a quarter of the people and destroy themselves;"
"Those who cure diseases will die of disease, those who kill will die of others'' hands, those who tell the truth will die of long mouth, and those who yearn for light will die of despair."
"Therefore praise them and curse them, and may the supreme existence give power to these sinners."
The eagle king stopped at the end of the long bridge and just finished reading the last sentence in the sheepskin book.
He lowered his head and stared at the icy abyss that seemed to have no end, and the parchment book in his hand was gently raised.
"Hoo --!"
With a wave of his arm, a thick stack of parchment books turned into scattered parchment in the air; With the wind and snow falling around the eagle king; Like a dead leaf falling into a pool, it sank slowly.
There was no trace in the abyss.
"Talk to me."
Staring at the unfathomable pit under his feet, the eagle king said faintly: "I have tried my best to come here; my family, servants, comrades in arms, robes, compatriots, including life, I bet everything I can on this fight."
"Just like... You."
Only the cold wind roared when he answered him.
"I''m not here to beg for your help, let alone kneel down and beg you - I''m the eagle king of Azores. I brought my ethnic group here from the land almost completely assimilated by the void. Behind me are nearly a million innocent elves - they... Are the last hope for the continuation of this world!"
The eagle king clenched his teeth and frowned: "if you are really willing to cooperate with me so that you can continue in the future world, instead of erasing the last trace..."
"Respond to me - only this request. I promise you with the blood of the eagle kings of all dynasties that I will never betray your sincerity and trust!"
Staring at the endless abyss, the eagle king''s expression showed a little self mockery, but he was not disappointed.
It doesn''t matter. Since they are willing to accept the final destruction, why should they plead with a group of desperate guys?
Turning around, the eagle Dynasty walked in the direction when it came, and its firm pace was even more stable than when it came.
"We... Don''t despair."
The footsteps stopped suddenly, and the shocked color filled the eagle king''s eyes; The dull and aging voice sounded directly in his mind.
The eagle king turned his head fiercely, and the cold and Piercing Touch hit his whole body in an instant - there was nothing, but it seemed as if he was stared at by some "existence higher than himself".
The feeling of being looked down and looked at... It seems that life or death can be decided by the other party as soon as they read it. It''s not worth mentioning.
"Lemantes, you were the first to respond to me..."
Try your best to straighten your waist, and the eagle king with some spread pupils makes his voice sound more stable: "no offense, but even in the ancient books on the era of the Dragon Kingdom handed down from generation to generation in Azores, you exist in the form of ruthlessness and no ''empathy''."
"On the level of indifference and malice, it is second only to Diabo, the last shadow."
He clenched his teeth and waited for the other party''s response and "revenge".
"Gawaite... The ''tyrant'' in your mouth. The first person who wanted to respond to you was him, but he was stopped by Diabo."
The voice of aging sounds like a whisper.
"We don''t doubt your ambition, this... Your majesty, we just doubt that all you have done will be the opposite of what you want."
Slightly stunned, the eagle king''s expression was very inexplicable, and then there was an impulse to laugh.
"So, you''re afraid, aren''t you? Because you failed again and again before your life and after your death... You failed too many times, so you don''t dare to try again... Do you?"
Staring at the bottomless abyss, the eagle king''s expression was very ironic: "then maybe I really came to the wrong place. I''m sorry, I shouldn''t disturb the losers of the newspaper group. I shouldn''t come out again and give you a chance to fail again!"
"After all, you are not who you used to be... Now you are just a group of ''moths'' who rely on the past and'' fear ''to maintain their existence and try to survive in the two realms ruled by the Holy Cross... Huh?!"
Before he finished, the eagle king standing at the end of the long bridge seemed to be hit hard and trembled.
"Dang --!"
The sharp long knife backhand came out of the scabbard and nailed it to the stone slab under his feet. It barely made him stand firm, but it could not alleviate the pain caused by the impact of the force of emptiness.
Mental tremor, memory confusion, consciousness disintegration... It''s like being restrained by the invisible existence. As long as the other party makes a little more effort, he can destroy his form and spirit!
It was so painful, but his body didn''t respond; Obviously, he almost died, but it seems that nothing has happened. All the functions of the body are normal.
Is this... The power of the evil gods who almost destroyed the Dragon kingdom?
"I warned you."
Indifferent voice, with a little helplessness.
"The first person who wants to respond to you is gowaite, but that''s not because he agrees with you;"
"On the contrary, he wants to destroy you."
The eagle king, panting, raised his head tremblingly.
There was a cold wind, but a few drops of cold sweat hung on his forehead.
"Can you... Tell me why?"
The eagle king spoke hard.
The voice was silent for a while, and it took a long time to speak silently:
"Because you''re late - they''ve found someone who can fight the black cross and are preparing; your presence will destroy the original track and destroy the last hope."
"You''re right. The four of us... Have long been surviving, relying on the fear of the living creatures to survive; but this does not mean that we are desperate. We also hope to see hope and hope to save the world from endless darkness."
"If this last hope is destroyed by a little deviation, it will be a betrayal of the whole world!"
"Hope... But where is the hope of our Azores?!"
The angry eagle king''s expression was slightly distorted: "our country has been destroyed, and our people have been gradually assimilated by the power of emptiness. I led them out of the sea of suffering, just want to get the last glimmer of hope!"
"If the Holy Cross cannot be completely destroyed and the two worlds can be completely separated or even separated forever, the erosion of the power of emptiness on my people will not stop - will you, who have saved and destroyed the world, watch your blood disappear?"
"I''m sorry, but..." the aging voice gradually lowered.
"Salvation must pay a price!" another voice sounded, full of spirit and strength:
"Sacrificing the minority and saving the majority... This is natural justice - it may not sound so fair, but there is no more reasonable and fair ''justice'' in the world!"
"So the price must be us, and we don''t even have the right to oppose and choose, do we?!"
The eagle king glared and looked around.
"On the contrary... If the price was human, you wouldn''t be so angry and wronged." the third voice suddenly came, sharp and mean:
"You will accept this result with apparent compassion and secretly joy, and watch your people become the master of the world in the next millennium; but it''s a pity..."
"This is the case. The facts cannot be changed."
The fourth voice sighed long, as if it could not bear it: "the world needs the existence of Azores, you need to be destroyed, you need to become the cornerstone of the future world and contribute to the last glimmer of hope."
"If you are so keen to inherit the blood with the power of emptiness, abuse the power of emptiness and regard it as a part of yourself rather than the tools and power that need to be vigilant, you are destined to become the first goal in the eyes of the ''black cross'', so..."
"We don''t want to kill you, and our strength is too weak to interfere with you..." the mean voice sounded again:
"It''s you... You''re going to die!"
The angry eagle king silently listened to the other party''s undisguised sarcasm, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly:
"So... The future world is doomed to have no place for us Azores, and we are doomed to perish... Right?"
"Unlike those human ''brothers'', we obediently became the test objects of the Dragon Kingdom, obediently obeyed the call of the Dragon Queen, and obediently bowed our heads to the power of the Holy Cross..."
"Because we refuse to bow our heads, refuse to obey easily, and are keen to resist all unjust affairs. Instead of expecting the Savior, we take the initiative to stand up and save ourselves - in your eyes, we deserve to die, right?"
"I repeat, no one is doomed."
Diabo, the mean "terminator", uttered his voice again, humming and sneering:
"Your anger only comes from the one who saves the world, seizes all power and becomes the Savior... Not you."
The eagle king just snorted coldly.
"So... You place all your hopes on a stranger, an existence that doesn''t even belong to the world - hoping that he can obediently obey your ideas and become the Savior of the world... Right?"
Disdained, the eagle king shook his head: "I don''t want to evaluate your decision, but if it was me... I would never believe that he would do what you want; if it was me, I would certainly choose a more favorable option for myself rather than the world."
"For example... After becoming the Savior of the world, become the second ''black cross''."
At that moment, the eagle king could feel the force of emptiness imposed on himself and suddenly weakened a lot.
Obviously... They are also worried in this regard - they have the existence of confrontation with the power of the black cross and will have the idea of becoming the second "black cross"
It''s nothing strange, is it?
